. . . he needs not merely meet with his erstwhile opponent for the White House and negotiate in good faith with Republican legislators, he also needs acknowledge the sincerity ofRepublican concerns and appreciate that over 49% of Americans who voted in the presidential contest had legitimate reasons for voting against him.

And by acknowledge of Republican concerns, he needs express his understanding of why Republicans fear tax hikes, even if just on the “wealthy,” might dampen the sluggish recovery. And if he is going to insist on this tax hike, he needs counter their argument in civil terms.

Actually, Passing By, all Obama supporters voted for Obama because they are racist looters and moochers.

After all, you and your fellow Obama Nazi children screamed that the only reason people voted against Obama was for racism and because they actually believed they should be allowed to keep what they earned.

#4: “appreciate that over [51%] of Americans who voted in the presidential contest had legitimate reasons for voting against [Republicans].”

Yeah, Passing By, we’ll do that just as soon as you and every other leftist in America stops characterizing conservative/Republican opposition to Obama’s policies as “racist,” “obstructionist,” and “tanking the economy on purpose.”

I also think Obama loves the trappings of being president but not so much the work, and negotiating honestly would require work.

It also doesn’t help that the media are ever willing to go with whatever story about who is to blame Obama spoon feeds them. Obama has and will continue to have the upper hand in any negotiations because he and the media will blame it all on the GOP no matter what happens.

I am not particularly opposed to raising taxes on the wealthiest earners (although I actually prefer Romney’s idea of limiting deductions and closing loop holes) but I think there needs to be a real effort made to control spending.

Obama wants to spend money and either can’t do math or isn’t very honest because anyone can see that there aren’t enough rich people to pay for all the stuff Obama wants to spend money on.
